From Winston Elementary to Brentwood Middle School and and a proud graduate of Kennedy High,—Alberto Olivarez’s journey through Edgewood ISD has come full circle! ⚾️💚 As an alum, he brings heart, hustle, and hometown pride to everything he does. His favorite part of being a teacher and coach? “Being able to guide student-athletes on the right path to being successful by doing the right things.” 💪🚀
This Teacher Appreciation Week, we’re celebrating our incredible staff who once walked our halls as students and now inspire the next generation in our classrooms! ✨
